The books include important block-books and incunabula. The second part is largely devoted to botanical drawings. "It is possible that Thomas Frognall Dibdin had a hand in cataloging some of the books in this sale." For an account of Willett and his library see Alan G. Thomas in The Book Collector, Winter 1963.
